THE high-flying father-and-son development duo who shaped the face of Mooloolaba have put their ritzy homes on the market.

Graeme Juniper and son Shaun came to prominence during the heady building boom, featuring on rich lists and sparking imaginations with their 77-storey Soul tower in Surfers Paradise.

But now Graeme's sprawling 2.15ha Buderim property - marketed as the suburb's "premier family estate" and approved for a 21-lot subdivision - is advertised for sale.

And his son Shaun's palatial island mansion in the Sunshine Coast's most glamorous suburb of Minyama was going to auction yesterday.

The double sell-off follows the recent $6.75 million sale of Graeme's luxury waterfront manor on the same Minyama Island street as his son.

It comes after the towering Soul development - said to be Australia's tallest residential tower and the Juniper Group's signature building - was placed in the hands of receivers.

The Juniper Group was also disposing of its $30 million Sunshine Coast retail portfolio - including the cream of the region's retail crop.
